About Labelbox

From environments to custom evaluations, we partner with over 90% of leading AI labs in the US and the innovators defining the next frontier of AI. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, a16z and SoftBank VF.

About the role

The Managing Partner owns the successful delivery of complex customer programs from initial scoping through steady-state execution — on time, to the quality bar, and at margin. This is a senior, customer-facing role for operators who can translate a customer's technical and business requirements into clear execution plans, coordinate multiple internal workstreams, own the economics of the deployment, and ensure projects meet their throughput, quality, delivery, and margin commitments.

What they're looking for

  • Significant experience owning complex, cross-functional programs in a customer-facing environment — as an operator who has run things, not advised on them
  • Financial and commercial numeracy: comfort owning margin, building and reading the unit economics of a program, and making the call to protect it
  • Strong technical fluency and the ability to quickly understand complex systems, workflows, and implementation requirements
  • Ability to communicate credibly with technical customer stakeholders while translating technical detail into clear decisions for non-technical audiences
  • A track record of partnering effectively with engineers, program managers, and cross-functional operators
  • Excellent judgment: you can distinguish technical issues from execution issues from customer-management issues, and find the right path to resolution
